1 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,080 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,840 In this episode, we're talking about Bigfoot in Washington. 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,480 That's correct, Bigfoot in Washington. 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,800 And before I get started, though, I just wanted to mention 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,720 Doctor Jeff Meldrum passed away. A lot of you probably saw him on 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,040 television, Internet, whatever. Whenever you follow Bigfoot, he 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,240 was the anthropologist out there in Idaho. 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,560 Just a really neat guy. I always thought he kind of 9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,280 approached Bigfoot from the physical standpoint, as if some 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,680 loss of species really. Like I said, they're a real a 11 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,360 true scholar and a gentleman and I'm going to miss him an awful 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,720 lot. I found this article over at 13 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,240 localnews8.com dated September 12th, Pocatello, ID. 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,600 It says the Idaho State University community is mourning 15 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,760 the loss of Doctor Jeff Meldrum, professor of anatomy and 16 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,040 anthropology, who passed away earlier this week. 17 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,360 According to a family Facebook post, his death came after a 18 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,240 brief battle with brain cancer. And I was watching David Politis 19 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,400 and I think he said that he was on a cruise with him or 20 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,960 something. They did his Bigfoot cruises and 21 00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:14,480 he had taken sick. That might have been two years 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,920 ago. So I think he maybe he's had 23 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,640 this for a little while. The illness was brief and he 24 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,120 passed with his family at his side. 25 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,160 State supposed Meldrum was a pillar and the longest serving 26 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,320 member of the university's Department of Biological 27 00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:29,680 Sciences, where he had taught since 1993. 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,480 Beyond the classroom, he gained recognition for his fascination 29 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,320 and study of the legendary creature known as Bigfoot, or 30 00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:39,360 Sasquatch, collecting one of the world's largest collections of 31 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,560 Bigfoot evidence. His work was featured in 32 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,320 numerous documentaries and television programs on the 33 00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:48,960 legendary creature says he loved teaching and researching 34 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,360 Bigfoot, but he was a husband and father first, his wife says. 35 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,880 I'm so grateful I've shared the last 17 years of my life with 36 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,960 him. He was a force of nature. 37 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,040 Wrote Meldon's wife, Lawrence Stewart in the post. 38 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,880 Yeah, really too bad. What a neat guy. 39 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,800 Really going to miss him in the Bigfoot community I think for 40 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,720 sure. OK, now moving on to some 41 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,240 sighting show that I located over at bfro.net 42 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,040 bigfootresearchorganization.net. As always, lots of cool 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,120 sightings over there. This first one's from October 44 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,520 2016, October 2nd actually in Chelan County, Washington. 45 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,680 Location details just past Coles Corner heading West toward 46 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,840 Stevens past approximately 34 miles east of the pass nearest 47 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,960 town Coles Corner slash Leavenworth nearest Rd. 48 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,640 Hwy. 2 Observed driving in my car. 49 00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:45,960 My wife and I saw a dark figure ahead of us walking on a bluff 50 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,800 beside the road. It was walking toward us. 51 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,920 As we got very near we saw clearly a hairy tall man like 52 00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:57,600 figure about 7 to 8 feet tall. It was very dark and its face 53 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,720 was very clear. Its head had a peek to it. 54 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,920 It turned and looked at our car then went off into the trees to 55 00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:07,120 its left. We both looked at each other and 56 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,760 confirmed what we had just seen, Bigfoot. 57 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,800 It was amazing. Says other witnesses. 2 58 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,440 witnesses, Other stories. Yes, a forest biologist I spoke 59 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,760 to you on the phone about my sighting told me there were 60 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,120 other sightings in this area. I also spoke to a woman for the 61 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,320 US Fish and Wildlife Service. She told me of sightings known 62 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,160 in this area as well. Time and conditions 10:30 AM 63 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,680 Environment Principal Hwy. Mountainous area with forced 64 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,920 follow up investigation by BFL investigator Jason Kay says I 65 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,680 spoke with LR over the phone as she recounted her encounter. 66 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,880 She and her friend A were driving back from Leavenworth on 67 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,200 a sunny Sunday morning between 10:00 and 10:30. 68 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,000 A's mother was in the back seat. After passing Kohl's Corner 69 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,520 heading West on Hwy. 2, they saw someone hiking toward them along 70 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,640 a straight stretch of the highway. 71 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,000 At first, it appeared to be wearing what they thought was a 72 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,920 hoodie. Since it had a pointed top on 73 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,240 its head, they thought it was strange that someone would be 74 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,560 wearing a hoodie on a nice sunny day. 75 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,680 Its arms were long and swung while it walked. 76 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,640 As they got closer, it looked like it was wearing a backpack, 77 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,160 but they realized it was its head and shoulders and that it 78 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,960 wasn't wearing any clothes. Although it was a busy weekend, 79 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,240 Oktoberfest and Leavenworth, there were no other cars in the 80 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,880 road at the time. As they approached, they were 81 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,400 able to make out additional physical features. 82 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,920 It had black hair and a bushy peak on its head. 83 00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:40,880 They could see the muscle structure. 84 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,680 It was very lean and physically fit. 85 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,000 When they were about two city blocks away, it stopped turning 86 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,480 its head and looked at them. I saw its face. 87 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,480 It was lighter color than its hair, but still dark. 88 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,480 She described her protruding forehead, sunken eyes and 89 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,880 somewhat flat nose. It then slowly turned away and 90 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,000 walked into the woods. They slowed down and looked up 91 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,040 the bank approximately 15 feet high where it hit enter the 92 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,120 trees. She said to her friend. 93 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,840 Now that is a Bigfoot. Yes, we did just see that. 94 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,800 A's mother was in the back seat and was not sure if she saw 95 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,440 anything. Her friend A lives out of state, 96 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,080 is willing to talk about their experience. 97 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,640 I've given them my number and we'll update this report if I 98 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,120 get a call back. Be it for all investigator Jason 99 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,440 Kay and that says Jason has been interested in Bigfoot phenomena 100 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,040 over ever since his first experience in 1999 near Mount 101 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,280 Saint Helens. He is a business owner with a 102 00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:37,960 background in journalism and analytics. 103 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,240 He participated the 2016 Washington Cascades Area 2 and 104 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,120 Oregon Coast 2017 expeditions. He's an experienced outdoorsman 105 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,560 and has packed into many of the most remarked places in 106 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,960 Washington state. Wow, the study's a pretty old 107 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,440 one since it happened in 195455 during the summertime. 108 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,160 Sheilan County, Washington location details. 109 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,800 Take a boat or seaplane to Lucerne, go up the road to hold 110 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,920 in the village and follow the Creek until it bends southwest. 111 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,640 Nearest town hold Washington. Nearest road to Lucerne. 112 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,120 Observed this happened when I was still very young, perhaps in 113 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,880 1953. The location was a hold in 114 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,280 Washington. My neighborhood friend and I 115 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:26,040 were playing in a sandbox down by Miners Creek. 116 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,280 My dad worked for How Sound Mining Company. 117 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,360 I looked up and saw a person in a fur coat cross across Miners 118 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,720 Creek. It was August or late July and 119 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,040 it was hot outside. He was stepping from boulder to 120 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,320 boulder and looking down at the water's edge, making his way 121 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,440 downstream. Tortoise. 122 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,520 I went and got my dad who collected a couple of other 123 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,360 adults and a pair of binoculars and went down by the Creek. 124 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,400 I probably remember this incident because I saw the man 125 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,480 in the fur coat first, but none of the adults would let me look 126 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,520 through the binoculars. I do remember them arguing about 127 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,720 what it was they saw. Can't be a man, can't be a bear. 128 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,080 They don't walk like that and step from boulder to boulder. 129 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,040 I remember that it was at a bend in the Creek West of the mine. 130 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,000 A big scree field on that side of the Creek meant that there 131 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,880 was not an easy way to get over there. 132 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,760 The Creek flowed from the southwest and turn E at this 133 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,800 bend that is the valley runs east West. 134 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,240 The Creek was really noisy so they didn't hear the men yelling 135 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,240 for attention, but the man did finally look up and notice us. 136 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,520 He turned and walked back up the Creek. 137 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,000 He walked away into pure wilderness. 138 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,360 There is nothing in the southwest of Holden Washington. 139 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,880 Dad is to see so I can't ask him about it and I wish I could. 140 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,760 I am submitting this report because my sighting was in the 141 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,320 middle of a blank spot on your map of sightings. 142 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,320 Sightings ring it. He walked away swinging his arms 143 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,120 like that tape. A Bigfoot that came out and was 144 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,080 played over and over. Other witnesses 4I hung with a 145 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,360 kid called Eddie. He may be the other kid. 146 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,480 Dad was urban, the other adults I don't remember. 147 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,880 Time and condition, morning bright day hot clear 148 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,320 environment, N Cascade wilderness back brushed to the 149 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,560 north, glacier at the end of the valley. 150 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,160 Follow up investigation by BFR investigator Paul Graves. 151 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,680 I spoke with the witness at length about his sighting. 152 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,240 He is 57 years old and still serves in the National Guard. 153 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,560 He recently returned from Afghanistan. 154 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,760 He was a young boy, about 8 years old at the time of the 155 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,120 incident. He still remembers it well. 156 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,320 He was with his friend Eddie. They were playing down by the 157 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,480 Creek when they looked up and saw this hair covered man like 158 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,480 thing walking from rock to rock with its head down. 159 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,600 It was not in a hurry. He said it swung its arms a bit 160 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,360 when it walked. The total time they observed it 161 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,200 even after bringing the adults or was 10 to 15 minutes. 162 00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:57,800 The adults seemed very excited and scared and would not let the 163 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,240 young boys look through the blockers. 164 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,120 He recalls him arguing back and forth about what it could be. 165 00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:06,200 This is a very remote area accessible only by a boat. 166 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,640 I have been to Holden Valley Village a few times and that 167 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,600 area there is nothing but wilderness in every direction. 168 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,520 And this is about BFR investigator Paul Graves. 169 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,440 Paul's a contractor and a musician and a lifelong 170 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,440 outdoorsman.

Penn Cascades, Oregon. 173 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,880 Telemukin has been researching the Sasquatch subject for over 174 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,240 20 years. And that must have been really 175 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,760 strange just to be a little kid like that and look up this rock 176 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,640 boulder strewn river and see this Bigfoot walking down it, 177 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,080 just carefully walking along as it places his foot from 11 stone 178 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,840 to the next. That's wild. 179 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,960 This next sighting was actually submitted in December 1999, but 180 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,920 it happened in in August 30th, 1968, it says Sheila County, 181 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,400 Washington location details from Leavenworth, WA take the Icicle 182 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,880 River Road to a trailhead that leads to several lakes on the 183 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,600 way to Enchantments area. 6 miles up the trail is Colchuck 184 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,400 Lake at about 5200 feet elevation. 185 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,240 So look, you're about a mile up right nearest town Leavenworth, 186 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,200 nearest Rd.

A windbreak of poles about 6 192 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,480 feet tall was beside us and a head was moving along the far 193 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,520 side of it. I thought it was one of our 194 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,600 group. When it got to the far end of 195 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,680 the windbreak it squatted down and began going through my pack. 196 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,600 This didn't bother me because I thought someone of the group 197 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,560 needed something. I said you finally made it. 198 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,640 It stood up and at that point I realized it was a foot or two 199 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,040 higher than the windbreak between the moon and what was 200 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,200 left of the fire. I could see what some years 201 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,040 later people were calling Bigfoot. 202 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,640 It turned and walk away into the night. 203 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,760 Wow, I guess that would give you a little startle, wouldn't it? 204 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,520 This is update December 12th, 1999 and before I start, let me 205 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,800 say that although my memory is still quite clear, there are 206 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,320 certain parts I am not sure of. I'm going to try to get in touch 207 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,760 with Glenn to get his memory of the night and make sure I'm not 208 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,000 forgetting or wrong about any of it. 209 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,400 Glenn was the president and I was the vice president of the 210 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,600 Edmonds Junior Sportsman's Club. Our group of about 6 kids and 211 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,160 one adult left on Friday to go to Lake Colchuck. 212 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,680 The adult fell into the Creek at a crossing about two miles in. 213 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,000 We had about four miles to go. Glenn and I decided to go on 214 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,400 ahead and build a fire so the adult could dry off when we got 215 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,240 there. It got dark long before we 216 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,120 reached the lake, so dark that we couldn't see the lake when we 217 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,320 first arrived. We lost the trail where actually 218 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,440 the trail ended because we were at the lake. 219 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,720 We started circling around looking for the trail. 220 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,600 One of us would stay put while the other walked around looking. 221 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,680 We stayed in touch by yelling back and forth. 222 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,480 Glenn found a lean to and we set up camp for the night. 223 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,280 The moon started showing through the clouds and Glenn went 224 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,920 looking around. He came back and said we were 225 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,280 just past the lake. I took a pan, he'd get some 226 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,000 water from the lake to cook with. 227 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,640 When I was dipping water from the lake, I heard screams from 228 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,920 the other side. Suddenly the screams seemed to 229 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,640 be about halfway around the lake. 230 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,920 I thought a cougar was racing around the lake to attack me. 231 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,680 I ran back to camp and grabbed my 22 rifle and waited with 232 00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:47,080 Glenn for the cougar to show up. It didn't, so we decided to 233 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,440 scramble eggs since I had dropped the water. 234 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,600 Running back to the lean to. We decided finally that the rest 235 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,600 of the group wasn't coming up that night, so he went to bed. 236 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,880 An hour or two later, I was still awake and saw a head 237 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,760 moving along the other side of the windbreak. 238 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,800 At the far end of the windbreak, about 10 to 15 feet away from my 239 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,600 feet, it squatted down and started going through my pack. 240 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,960 I thought it was the adult possibly getting some dry food, 241 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,040 some dry clothes. I said. 242 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,560 You finally made it. The thing stood up and I finally 243 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,400 realized it was quite a bit taller than the windbreak. 244 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,960 It was about 7 1/2 or 8 feet tall and wider than most men. 245 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,840 I was scared and confused. Even though the 22 was right 246 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,040 beside me, I was too scared to move. 247 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:36,000 After several seconds, whatever it was turned and started 248 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,280 walking away. I woke Glenn up and told him to 249 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360 look. He couldn't see anything at that 250 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,200 point, but we could both hear it moving through the trees. 251 00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:47,800 In the morning, after a sleepless night, I went to I 252 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,040 went to my pack and noticed that it wasn't torn, but my stuff was 253 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,480 all over the ground. The part of the story that seems 254 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,400 to make people not believe me is that the only thing gone was the 255 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,880 package of Oreo cookies. The package was there, but no 256 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,320 cookies. I didn't see the thing eat them, 257 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,120 but I don't know how else they could disappear. 258 00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:09,720 When the rest of the group showed up, I told them the story 259 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,920 and the adults said it had to be a bear. 260 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,160 Only it wasn't. Someone made a comment about a 261 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,320 Bigfoot, but neither I or anyone else believed in that at the 262 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,160 time. Later that day we walked around 263 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,480 the lake to where the screams had come from. 264 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,440 The night before the Telus slope there was formed by some very 265 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,800 large rocks. One large slab like stone formed 266 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,400 a sort of cave underneath it. Inside at the far end was some 267 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,280 brush and maybe grass. There was hair on the brush that 268 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,760 looked black. Everyone decided it was a bare 269 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,440 den and that was what I had seen the night before. 270 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,600 Some years later, while moving with my dad in someone's house, 271 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,880 I noticed a magazine with a silhouette of a Sasquatch on the 272 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,120 cover. I think it's called the year of 273 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,720 the Sasquatch or something like that. 274 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,600 I looked inside. On the sightings page in the 275 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,680 Colchuck Lake area, there were a bunch of dots. 276 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,080 That's when I allowed myself to believe that maybe these things 277 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,240 do exist. I also listened to some 278 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,880 recordings others have made. The high pitched screams very 279 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,320 closely resembled the cougar screams I had heard when getting 280 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,480 water. Also noticed missing food. 281 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,520 Cookies package left behind, rummaged through backpack. 282 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,840 Possible bear dead animal screams. 283 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,040 Initially thought they'd be cougar. 284 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,560 Other witness all in bed or asleep. 285 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,600 Witness was awake. Time and conditions Dark, 286 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,240 moonlit early morning near 2:30 AM. 287 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,200 Environment. Lake Cholka is very near the 288 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,680 tree line. There were trees, though I'm not 289 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,000 sure if they were pine or fir, along the South end of the lake 290 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,680 where we heard the screams from his towel slope. 291 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,040 Some of the rocks were about 20 feet. 292 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,360 The next day while walking on those rocks we saw what appeared 293 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,640 to be a beard in under the larger rocks that was propped up 294 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,040 forming a sort of ceiling area Alpine wilderness. 295 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,560 This next sighting is pretty recent. 296 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:06,360 Dated October 13th, 2024. Incident type daylight sighting 297 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,400 exactly 10 miles South of Forks Highway 101. 298 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:17,560 October 13th, 2024 Callum County Washington nearest town Forks 299 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,720 nearest Rd. Highway one O 1 Location details 300 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,960 between mile markers 182 and 183 on Hwy. 1 O1 heading north just 301 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,440 past the man who sells chainsaw carvings but before the 302 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,400 construction stoplight. The sighting occurred on the 303 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,880 right hand side of the road while traveling. 304 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,680 N Witness account observed. We were driving through a 305 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,720 construction area on Highway One O 1. 306 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,280 As we routed a curve, we saw a Sasquatch approximately 9 to 10 307 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,360 feet tall and at least three feet wide at the shoulders. 308 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,080 It was moving quickly into the bushes and trees. 309 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,480 Its movement was sudden and erratic, as if it were hurrying, 310 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,440 but it pushed the altar trees aside with ease. 311 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,120 Within just a few steps, the brush stopped moving and the 312 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,520 creature had disappeared completely. 313 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,640 Its fur was black, similar to a bear's, but it moved upright on 314 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,160 2 legs. The entire siding lasted no more 315 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,800 than 5 seconds. Other witnesses There were two 316 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,000 of us, one driving, 1 passenger. We've been talking about the 317 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,359 road work and both stopped mid conversation at the same moment 318 00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:23,240 when we saw the figure. After a pause, we both confirmed 319 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,319 that we had seen the same thing as reports. 320 00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:28,840 An area, yes, just north toward Beaver and also toward La 321 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,680 Pouche. Time and conditions The weather 322 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,240 was clear with good lighting. The sighting occurred in early 323 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,360 evening between 5:30 and 6:00 PM. 324 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,120 The creature was on the side of the road slightly up a hill 325 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,440 leading into the woods. The area is just past the house 326 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,480 with the chainsaw garbings but before the construction stop 327 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,440 light and then investigator notes matching moneymaker. 328 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,400 I spoke with both Jerry Jackson and his wife Isabel. 329 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,000 They are credible witnesses and members of the Kuyu Tribe. 330 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,160 At the time of the sighting, they were heading north on Hwy. 331 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,720 1 O1 toward their home in La Pouche. 332 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,800 Both are employed at a local resort and are well connected 333 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,160 with the Natural Resources Department of the Kuyu Tribe. 334 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,080 The Bigfoot was at the tree line about 15 yards from the edge of 335 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,680 the highway. It was very tall with very dark 336 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,840 fur. Neither witnesses got a clear 337 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,560 look at the face. Both have extensive experience 338 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,800 seeing bears and are absolutely certain this was not a bear. 339 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,640 They were slowing down as they approached the traffic control 340 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,320 light for the construction zone. Note the aerial images shown 341 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,000 below were taken in the past and do not reflect the current road 342 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,760 construction site. Yeah, it's got a bunch of 343 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,800 pictures here to the maps and stuff from Google Maps. 344 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,320 Jerry later told his grandmother in Lapouche, herself a witness 345 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,520 to previous sightings, about what he had seen. 346 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,440 She asked was it a black one or a brown one. 347 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,960 Jerry replied that it was black. This suggests that she has 348 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,640 encountered more than one Bigfoot of different 349 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,840 colorations. As also noted in a recent report 350 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,000 from the From Beaver, the Olympic Peninsula likely has the 351 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,160 highest concentration of Bigfoot sightings in the country, it 352 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,240 says. Why are there more here than 353 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,440 anywhere else? The answer is the same as why 354 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,200 there are more Indian reservations here. 355 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,440 Natural resources. Between the salmon runs, elk, 356 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,240 deer, and the rain and the rainforest environment, there's 357 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,760 abundant food.

The cabin and property are a few 392 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,440 miles outside of the Town of Beaver. 393 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,440 Population 258. Located in the northwest corner 394 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,120 of the Olympic Peninsula. Witness Account This property 395 00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:09,040 has been in the family since the 1800s. 396 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,120 I remember going there as a small child and experiencing 397 00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:14,640 something so frightening that I never wanted to return. 398 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,840 Though I cannot remember exactly what happened 50 years later, I 399 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,200 decided to go back for a family reunion camping trip. 400 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,800 We arrived on July 2nd, 2024 around noon. 401 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,240 We set up our pop up tents with covers that that staked into the 402 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,920 ground. Later we visited with two family 403 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,640 members staying in the cabin. Each day was clear and hot. 404 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,600 The nights were clear, very cold. 405 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,160 The entire time we felt like you were being watched and had an 406 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,640 uneasy feeling. We heard many strange noises, 407 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,480 roaring and growling, sounds unlike any animal we knew, 408 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,000 whoops, and other identifiable calls. 409 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,160 At times it sounded as though the noises were coming from 410 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,080 different areas, almost as if they were communicating with 411 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,600 each other. We also heard frogs crooking, 412 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,160 which would suddenly stop before we heard sticks cracking and 413 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,880 branches breaking in the woods. My uncle dismissed it as just 414 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,480 animals in the forest. We went to bed around 12:30 AM. 415 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,640 At about 1:00 AM, my mom set up, looked toward the back of the 416 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,040 tent, then lay back down. This happened the following 417 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,000 night as well. On the third night, she chose to 418 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,880 sleep in the car at 11:00 PM while my grandson and I went to 419 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,960 bed at 11:26 PM. That night, fireworks echoed 420 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,960 through the valley. Since my mom was in the car, I 421 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,840 moved our queen size air mattress about 3 feet high to 422 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,720 the center of the tent. I lay on the side closest to the 423 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,160 door facing forward. Inside my sleeping bag. 424 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,520 I place an extra blanket over me, kept a flashlight inside in 425 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,520 case my grandson needed me. I was very tired and drifted in 426 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,120 and out of sleep so I could listen for him. 427 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,520 Suddenly I felt the back of the tent press against me. 428 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,520 Something then grabbed my arm through the tent wall and began 429 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,760 shaking the air mattress violently. 430 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,760 At the same time, a bright white light shone against the back 431 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,240 corner of the tent, several feet above the ground, but there was 432 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,920 no accompanying noise. I was terrified. 433 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,680 I could see the glow of the light even through my blanket 434 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000 and sleeping bag. After several moments, the 435 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,440 shaking stopped, the hand released my arm, and the light 436 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,720 vanished. I immediately turned on my 437 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,680 flashlight, set up and checked my phone. 438 00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:31,320 It was 146 AM. The back of the tent had been 439 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,120 pushed forward about 5 to 7 feet. 440 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,840 I checked on my grandson, who was fine. 441 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,760 I adjusted the tent cover, which was still staked at its original 442 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,320 spot near the woods, and tried to calm down. 443 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,200 I didn't sleep the rest of the night. 444 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,640 At daylight, I packed up everything and drove home to 445 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,720 Laci. I only felt at ease once I was 446 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,720 halfway home when I told my son what had happened. 447 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,760 I noticed distinct fingerprint marks on my left arm while 448 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,600 getting ready in the bathroom. My son took photos of the marks. 449 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,160 Now they've got pictures here of her arm. 450 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:11,840 And yeah, I don't know, man, It's there's definitely it does. 451 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,840 It looks like fingerprint marks, like someone just grabbed it 452 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,120 real hard and left these, you know, impressions on her. 453 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,560 Man, I don't know, that's weird. And also the light shining into 454 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,720 the tent that makes me think of this UFO connection with these 455 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,200 things. Why would a Bigfoot have a light 456 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,600 if it was just, you know, some sort of lost species running 457 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,600 around there in in the forest, goes on and says. 458 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,760 Additional notes. I left the property on Friday. 459 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,240 By Sunday I learned that my uncle, who was paraplegic and 460 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,600 staying in a cabin had been found unresponsive, staring 461 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,800 blankly and not knowing where he was. 462 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,400 He was taken to the hospital and passed away a couple of days 463 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,280 later. That's weird. 464 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,400 Other witnesses, None other reports in the area, none that I 465 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,480 asked about. I just wanted to leave. 466 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,320 Time and conditions. Approximately 1:45 AM. 467 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,640 Dark and cold Family property at the base of a mountain range 468 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:08,120 bordering dense forest. Follow up investigation by BFO 469 00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:11,400 investigator Scott Taylor. I spoke with the witness by 470 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,920 phone. She and her family were camping 471 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,200 on family property near Beaver, WA. 472 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,480 This was her first time returning since childhood when 473 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,480 she had experienced something unsettling there. 474 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,480 The family had several tents set up near the forest. 475 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,000 The first couple nights her elderly mother repeatedly set up 476 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,400 and looked toward the woods behind the tent as if reacting 477 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,680 to something. This happened three nights in a 478 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,040 row. The family felt watched. 479 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,360 They all heard strange animal noises, owls, alcohols, whoops 480 00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:44,040 and loud roar growls from up the hill behind the tents. 481 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,800 Frogs would crow gladly, then suddenly go silent. 482 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,560 They also heard heavy footsteps, stick snapping and branches 483 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,480 breaking. On July 4th at 11:26 PM, the 484 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,000 witness and her grandson went to bed. 485 00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:59,120 She described being lightly asleep when something pressed 486 00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:02,200 the tent against her back. Then something grabbed her left 487 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,600 arm hard enough to leave fingernail marks shaking the 488 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,960 tall air mattresses though bouncing on it. 489 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,480 A bright light eliminated the tent from outside during the 490 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,360 incident. The tent must push 5 to 7 feet 491 00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:18,360 forward into the clearing. Despite her being inside, she's 492 00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:21,360 not asleep again that night, and she left the next morning. 493 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,080 After returning home, she discovered and documented the 494 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,400 fingernail marks on her arm. She later sent me a diagram 495 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,440 showing the layout of the campsite. 496 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,360 The property borders the Olympic National Forest with train 497 00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:38,680 rising behind the site, perfect for observation by wildlife or 498 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,840 other beings. Given the large number of people 499 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,840 and children present, it's possible family was being 500 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,440 observed for several days. Juvenile Sasquatch is which are 501 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,680 often less cautious and adults may have approached. 502 00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:52,520 A juvenile could have jumped onto the tent using the tall air 503 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,440 mattress like a trampoline and grab the witness's arm while 504 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,040 bouncing. The photos of her arm show clear 505 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,600 finger and thumb marks. Small but strong. 506 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,160 I plan to visit the property soon for an on site 507 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,520 investigation. Wow, that is really something. 508 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,680 I don't know man, it's strange. We'll do two more here and wrap 509 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,600 this up. This sighting is dated January 510 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,080 16th, 2011. Callan County, Washington 511 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,480 Location details about a mile and 1/2 into Elwhat River Trail. 512 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,720 Nearest town Port Angeles, WA nearest Rd. 513 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,760 Whiskey Bend Rd. My three friends and I, all 514 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,720 fellow soldiers, recently took a three day camping trip on the 515 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,200 Elwhat River Trail in Olympic National Forest. 516 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,640 When we had to return to cell coverage, my buddy and I headed 517 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,240 north on the main trailhead to hike out. 518 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,880 The night before, a heavy thunderstorm left the trail very 519 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,800 muddy. I was leading the way out when I 520 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,560 came across a very clear, muddy print of the left foot. 521 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,720 I wear a men's size 11 boot and this print appeared to be from a 522 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,520 size 14 or 15. It seemed recent with clearly 523 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,480 defined toes and arch. Unfortunately, we only had a 524 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,920 cell phone to take a picture with and we regret that we only 525 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,080 took one photo. The tracks, less clearly defined 526 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,040 than the first, continued N along the trail for another 25 527 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,480 to 30 feet. That night, due to the horrible 528 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,040 weather, we decided it was best to camp at one of the historic 529 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,160 cabins on the trail. We rigged A poncho over one of 530 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,640 the open windows to block rain and wind, securing it by 531 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,960 weighing down the bottom edge with a 2 by two piece of wood. 532 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,120 During the heaviest gust of wind, it seemed to hold up well. 533 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,040 At approximately O 100 hours, the tarp was suddenly pulled 534 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,920 aside and the weighted piece of wood fell onto one of my fellow 535 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,320 campers. Awakened by the noise, I saw the 536 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,160 tarp move even though no wind was present at the time. 537 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,960 While these events could possibly have been caused by a 538 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,200 bear, I do note that a large garbage bag containing food was 539 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,000 left untouched throughout the night. 540 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,160 I included these details for the sake of a thorough record. 541 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:59,000 Whether it's substantial or not, that does sound crazy, doesn't 542 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,760 it? It goes on and says follow up 543 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,800 investigation by BFL investigator Cliff Berkman. 544 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,080 I contacted the witness on 1/23/11. 545 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,600 He was very cooperative and willingly sent me the footprint 546 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,840 photograph. At the time, the road leading to 547 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,240 Elwhat river was closed, which made the hike from the Ranger 548 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,000 station to the trailhead a four to five mile walk. 549 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,720 The prints were found an additional mile and a half down 550 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,560 the trail. Considering the remote location 551 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,600 and the weather conditions, it is highly unlikely that a person 552 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,440 was walking barefoot in that area. 553 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,440 The witness noted that the only people he encountered during the 554 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,840 entire trip were heading in as he was walking out on the road 555 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,960 after the weather had cleared. The photo was not of an 556 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,360 excellent quality, but is good enough to discern details. 557 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,360 To clarify the larger impression, I outlined the 558 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,680 footprint using the witnesses 12 inch boot as a scale. 559 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,920 He measured it for me over the photo over the phone. 560 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,880 The footprint is approximately 13 inches long. 561 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,760 Yeah, that's pretty crazy. They do have a link here and I'm 562 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,560 looking at it and that's a big print, man. 563 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,800 I mean, to say that it's 13 inches long doesn't really do it 564 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,000 justice because they've got this, they've got the picture of 565 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,200 it here next to the Sky's foot. And they got the outline of 566 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:24,240 this, of this footprint circled. And it's, it's big. 567 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,600 I mean, it's massively wide. So, yeah, I, I can't explain 568 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,600 that. That is, that is really strange. 569 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,760 We'll do one last one here. This last thing that we're 570 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,680 looking at stated October 11th, 2000 Clallam County, Washington 571 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,720 location details southeast of the Hurricane Ridge Ranger 572 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,360 station on the Elk Mountain trail nearest town Port Angeles 573 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,920 nearest Rd. Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center 574 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,520 Rd. observed. I am European and I enjoy hiking 575 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,640 alone in the American National parks. 576 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:58,040 I have visited Yosemite, Death Valley, Arches, Canyonlands, 577 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,240 Mesa Verde, Yellowstone, etcetera. 578 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,360 I have already seen bears, both black bears and a grizzly, and 579 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,600 Yellowstone. In October 2000, I visited 580 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,560 Olympic National Park. On the last day of my stay, I 581 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,840 hiked a loop trail beginning at Obstruction Point. 582 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,400 I left my car at the parking lot located at the end of 583 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,200 Obstruction Point Rd. which is about 6 miles long and in poor 584 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,520 condition, unpaved with some potholes. 585 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,400 At the beginning of the road near the Hurricane Ridge Visitor 586 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,200 Center, there was a sign indicating that overnight stays 587 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,800 were not permitted. When I arrived at the parking 588 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,640 lot at 10:30 AM, there were no other cars. 589 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,400 I hiked to Grand Lake and Moose Lake, arriving around 12:30 PMI 590 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,160 stayed there for about an hour before returning via the Badger 591 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,200 Valley Trail at about 4:45 PMI reached the bottom of 592 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,560 Obstruction Peak just below the parking area and decided to rest 593 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,560 before climbing up. As I looked around, I noticed 2 594 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,240 hikers walking on the Elk Mountain Trail toward the 595 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,800 parking lot. Since I had not seen any all 596 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,640 day, I was curious and looked at them through my binoculars. 597 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,120 They were about 500 yards away. The late afternoon sun was 598 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,600 shining on them while I was in the shadows, so I don't think 599 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,520 they could see me. My binoculars are not very good, 600 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,640 but I immediately noticed they carried no equipment, no 601 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,600 backpacks, no walking sticks, nothing, and seemed very tall. 602 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,480 There were no trees nearby to help confirm their height, but 603 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,880 they both appeared unusually tall, especially the second one. 604 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,680 I noticed that they were dressed quote UN quote in a uniform dark 605 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,120 color from head to toe, and putting their hands and faces, I 606 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,800 could not see any variation of color. 607 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,800 To me, they look like giants dressed in some kind of a dark 608 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,760 uniform, almost like police or spatial forces. 609 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,640 I focused on the second figure since my velocities could only 610 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,920 frame one at a time. His walk struck me as very 611 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,080 strange. His head was tilted downward as 612 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,000 though he were looking at his feet, and his arms were very 613 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,480 long with hands hanging near. The knees swung widely as he 614 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,800 walked. It gave the impression that he 615 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,560 was both tired because his head of his head position and yet 616 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,480 alert because of the vigorous movement of his arms and legs. 617 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,000 At one point the first figure, walking about 10 yards ahead, 618 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,880 stopped briefly to look back at the second one, but did not wait 619 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,320 and continued forward. By then, I began to think these 620 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,400 two hikers were very unusual. Realizing they were headed in 621 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,880 the same direction as me, I quickly climbed up to the 622 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,200 parking lot to see if they had a car there. 623 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,880 I reasoned that if there was another car beside mine, it 624 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,920 would prove they were ordinary hikers. 625 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,440 But when I reached the lot, my car was the only one there. 626 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,560 In that moment, several thoughts went through my head. 627 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,960 It was late in the day. We were 6 miles from the paved 628 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,360 Rd. Overnight stays in the area or 629 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,040 forbidden, These strange hikers carried nothing that would allow 630 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,360 them to spend the night outdoors. 631 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,960 I then thought about the Patterson film I'd seen years 632 00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:02,880 earlier on television, and I suddenly decided to leave 633 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,280 quickly. I did not see any other cars or 634 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,320 people until I reached the paved road and the Hurricane Ridge 635 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,360 Visitor Center. After this experience, I 636 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,199 realized the Patterson film might not be the hoax I thought 637 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,719 it was. Sorry for my poor English but I 638 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,960 hope this conveys what I saw. No the English was fine. 639 00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:23,400 What a really remarkable sighting. 640 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,080 I mean just out there literally in the middle of nowhere and see 641 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,960 these two hikers Sounds sounds to me like definitely saw two 642 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,880 Bigfoot walking just side by side. 643 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,920 Maybe a pair of time and conditions. 4:45 PM sunny day 644 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,159 environment near Elk mountain Ridge. 645 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,800 Open train with rocks and grass, no trees. 646 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,360 That is really, really neat. Well, these things are all over 647 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,639 out there. I mean, just Washington just 648 00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:50,080 seems to be such a hot spot for these these Bigfoot settings. 649 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,239 We could just go on all day exploring them. 650 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,960 But I thought these were fun to look at. 651 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,000 Hey, if you like the program, don't forget to like follow, 652 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,640 subscribe.
